Community groups in Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty have been named in the latest round of grants from a gaming trust.
Nationally, groups from Whangarei to Southland - and places in between - received $3.310 million in grants from The Southern Trust to support their programmes in the thirdquarter of 2018.
The Southern Trust released figures today showing community groups that received grants between 1 July 2018 and 30 September 2018.
The Southern Trust chief executive and Trustee Karen Shea said significant grants in the three months included; $75,000 for the Rotorua Community Hospice Trust and $18,000 to Gymsports New Zealand for medical services and AV equipment for 2018 Champs in Tauranga.
"Partnerships with venues across New Zealand provide funds to assist community organisations the length and breadth of the country. The Trust is consistently receiving more applications for fund than there are funds available in the majority of areas," Shea said.
Community organisations anywhere in New Zealand can apply for funding from The Southern Trust. The trust continually reviews applications with most processed within 20 working days.
Requests larger than $30,000 are reviewed at monthly Board of Trustees meetings. Community organisations considering applying for funding should firstly call The Southern Trust funding team on 0800 4 CHARITY (0800 42 42 74).
